Try keeping your phone charged for some time and try again. Some times phone pretend to be having charge but it will not have charge.

I had similar problem but at least I was able boot up phone by re inserting battery back.

Give a try of above suggestion. Good luck..
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Well i connected the phone to get a full charge before going ODIN and thought of trying to turn it on and it went all ok. Then i saw you post :D But thanks anyways because it was just battery problem as you said.

It appears that G+ was running in the background (as usual i guess) and just drained all my battery in 4 hours, i don't know what that ****er was doing.

Anyways, thanks again for the suggestion!
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
RC5 is finally getting near it seems. But I do have AP tests to take until next Wednesday so it definitely won't be till at least a few days after that. If there is anyone that is from the US who remembers/knows about the AP tests then you know how hard they are...takes up all of your time until they are done. :)
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
yahh I have AP test next week too, to be exact next thursday. And my god are they hard. Studying doesn't even prepare you for everything!
[Captivate Android Development] pietro_spina:
FWIW, I love that I am running a ROM that is developed/worked on and maintained by some kids in high school on their spare time...

I'm almost 40 now (yikes) and all we were doing was writing some silly programs in BASIC...

Good luck on the exams guys.

[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
I haven't worked on this project ever. Just letting DemonWav know I acknowledge how hard AP exams are. And I thank him for his addition to the community!
[Captivate Android Development] Knight613:
Is RC5 going to be 4.0.4?
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
To my knowledge, answer is 'YES'.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
lol, yes. The ROM hasn't really been the problem, we have just had kernel problems, and a lot of changes to our team's infrastructure (Which is still very much a work in progress) so that in the future we can get release out faster, and finally be able to work on those mods and addons now that we have a very stable ROM. Of course stability will always be our top priority, so don't worry to much about that. We are also working on supporting new phones, but that will take a long time (definitely) to get up and running. There is a TON of work to be done on the Infuse.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I'm sure it was worth the wait :D
[Captivate Android Development] xiaoali:
For the longest time I kept flashing back to this rom because, for the longest time it was the most stable. You guys really did a great job. I can't wait to try out the new release whenever it lands.
[Captivate Android Development] troyy0206:
With exception to the ill-fated GPS Samsung used in this device, I have NEVER had a phone work this well and this fast until I used this ROM on my Captivate. If the GPS worked well, I would keep this phone until I was forced to change. Unfortunately, as soon as I have the opportunity I will upgrade to a newer phone. My only problem is the large format phones. The Captivate was a larger phone than I wanted but I had come to the realization (at least at that point) that I had to get a larger phone to have the performance I wanted--it came with the territory. I loved the size of the HTC Aria, but the performance was an issue.

Keep up the good work on this, it's quite amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] dcmille290:
I can say without a doubt this is the best from going. I have flashed several rooms, but always come back here. Just like testing I guess.

Keep up the great work guys.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I have to agree best ROM out there Just can't say I have flashed too many rooms-lol just kidding Amazing work
[Captivate Android Development] ctechbob:
Yep, this is the first ICS one I ever flashed and have never been tempted to switch once a did a few mods to make it exactly the way I wanted it. Just no reason to switch.
[Captivate Android Development] dcmille290:
Dang predictive text.
[Captivate Android Development] dcmille290:
Hopefully someone has idea about my compass being out of wack. N is showing as W. As I rotate clockwise towards E its says W. Like its 90 degrees out of sync. I checked it with a regular magnetic compass. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Dumb question but did u try calibrating it, worked for me
[Captivate Android Development] dcmille290:
Yeah, tried it a bunch. Does nothing for the issue. Thanks anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
I tried some other roms under 4.0.4 and the compass was working. I think its just a question of days before RC5 and a working compass again.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Sorry Diablo III came out, so the release date is pushed back indefinitely...I mean, what can I say? LOL Just kidding of course...kind of. ;) We are working on maybe a Friday release of RC5.
[Captivate Android Development] dcmille290:
That's awesome news. Since I don't hike the compass issue isn't a big deal. RC 5 is!!
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Is it Friday yet ? ;):p
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
So we had set up a website that we were going to hold all of our releases and instructions, changelogs, information, updates, etc., but our VPS decided to commit suicide, and everything was lost. Of course everything is backed up, but not sure how long it will take to get everything running again. Might temporarily release it here, then move it to the website. We will see.

Side note -- why am I a "Recognized Themer"? I don't do any theme work at all anymore. lolz
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
Problems, problems everywhere. Sorry guys, I tried putting everything together (decided I would worry about the site later) and I can't do it right now, I need Trae and he is out for a week or so...trust me, its far more annoying and aggravating for us than it is for you guys, but still, sorry about all these frickin delays, we are doing the best we can, but we don't really have nice schedules and Onecosmic has been gone for a while too.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Hey chill, if you guys want to wait till the page is set up and running it's ok. Don't need to rush things ;)
[Captivate Android Development] focalguy:
Yea, take your time guys. This is a great ROM and I'm sure RC5 will be great. Things happen; just get it out when you are able and thanks for all the hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
+1 on that rather have a great from than rush job

Keep forgetting to ask, I know it was mentioned before but I can't find it, anyone know how to enable ad blocking within the rom ad blocker apps don't seem to be working well
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:

I can't get Viber to work on RC4. Is there a patch for that somewhere? I searched this thread for Viber but it came back with no results...

Been Running ICSSGS for months now and it's still rock solid, so I'm sure plenty share my sentiment when I say it's worth the wait for whatever you have in the pipeline.

Happily running 4.2 since 2/9 - running icy glitch and jvt modem - thanks for your continued support. Any teasers for the next release... kernel, fixes, features.... I am afraid I will forget how to flash a rom .... but happy if this is my last rom on the good old captivate....
[Captivate Android Development] StunGod:
Hey all, just a heads-up: I've been running 4.2 with glitch since it was released and it was flawless until today when I updated to the latest Google + via the market. After that I started getting FCs in lots of the core apps like dialer, media, etc. had to re-flash the ROM and kernel to get stable again.

YMMV, but fair warning.

[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I have updated the app today and used it several times during the day and haven't got any problems so far
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you guys, we put a lot of work (a ton, actually, a metric ton) into this ROM, and I really hope the next release does not disappoint you guys. (though most of the changes are in the team infrastructure and such, to help with future releases and work -- hint: we are changing our name).

Sorry to hear that from you, StunGod, hopefully things will work out well for you guys. And just a heads up, we need some testers for the next release, so, maybe the next 5 or so people who reply to this thread after this post I will get in contact with and we will make arrangements - no guarantees though.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
Please count me in.

past 5, but still want in.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Well he did say 5 or so lol that's why I'm trying to get in
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
It's not a contest, and it's not to make people happy either, we just need testers, and I was about to go to sleep (just figured out what was wrong with what I was doing, was so tired I figured I would try to fix it today) when I decided to do it. Sorry if anyone is disappointed, but I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.

EDIT: And yes, I will be very biased in who I pick to test.

[Captivate Android Development] AceofSpades90:
Definitely, can't wait for RC5! Love the hardwork. Though, I think RC5 has taken super long then usual to come out compared to other roms running android 4.0.4. I guess it's worth the wait.

I wonder whatt they mean when they say they updated the kernel... I mean there are quite a lot of kernels that are running wild on xda.

I'm using Devil's kernel + Pikachu thunderbolt tweak + Icssgs rc4.2 ;)

Would love to help the team anyway possible. I can code and maintain the web. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
We build our own kernels, and we have been working closely with DerTeufel with the Devil kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] AceofSpades90:
Thanks for clearing that (: You guys can contact Existz(kernel dev and will be coming with his own aospX rom for captivate soon too.

<nushor> and waiting until morning for people to start complaining

<DemonWav> yeah
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
And I leave you guys with this...

<DemonWav> uh...maybe put it in the newer kernel, so the kernels arent actually different?

<DemonWav> then they would truely be different only in the ramdisks

<nushor> they were chagned upon another commit

[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Ok, so I've been doing some quick searches since I haven't been on the custom rom scene in quite some time (Still running Serendipity 7 from way back in the day), but I didn't see an answer to a question I had.

To the point, is the Android OS bug still around? (every so often Serendipity had this bug where it would straight devour battery until you either rebooted or let your phone die)

And secondly, if it is, will RC5 address it?

I've very recently started getting back into seeing which ICS rom to flash and am seeing if I can find some answers to the random questions I have.

'preciate any info.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
That may be a hard question to answer because I never had that bug either on serendipity(was on all of them until final build) and I have been on all onecosmic ' s team pics builds and once again no android bug it may be like the GPS some have great GPS for some it's crap I say just take the plunge and come over to this ROM it will not disappoint
[Captivate Android Development] azunino:
Hi DemonWav,

has the Encryption Unsuccessful bug (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303) been fixed in RC5?

Lol it does become quite difficult to type when your vision is blurring, you are running off of caffeine and of course, you are working with so much code that everything starts looking like a giant indecipherable wall of text. :P
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Per your advice, I decided to just jump right in.

After an hour of playing and restoring everything, I went to go check the battery stats, and sure enough Android OS is at 17%. (normally shouldnt go above 4-6%)

So it seems whatever is going on is still happening. Regardless, one thing to note is even with Android OS at 17%, Screen time of 58 minutes, I still have 68% battery remaining... honestly that's about twice as much estimated battery life as I had at the beginning of the day with my old rom. Things to keep in mind is this was is the first charge cycle. Who knows what it'll end up being after several cycles. We shall see! So far, really digging the rom.

Just wish I could figure out how to combine contact info (multiple contact info for same person popped up after restore) and this new contact app isnt what im used to.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Glad u already have better battery life and are enjoying the ROM , once again didn't have that contact issue either hopefully someone who has had those issues can help you
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Guys, i'd like your help in determining whether the things I'm about to bring up are missing in "MY" flash vs what is missing in the default flash (I want to tell whether or not it's simply a bad flash on my part, or it was intentionally left out of the rom)

1st being lack of customization of the default launcher: no editing of the number of home screens, no animations to choose from when transitioning, no editing of the number of default icons per home screen (4x4 vs 5x5), and no ability to change unlock screens.

Next is the lack of customization in several apps, one being the inability to combine profiles in the contact list using the default contact app, another being the lack of "Gentle alarm" in the default Clock app, the lack of customization in look of the gmail app (only black text on white background, missing being able to customize the look to things), and the never ending "refreshing" youtube app widget

---now these are probly SOL things, since they are app based, just sad that the "new" apps are far more underwhelming than the old ones.

Other random things missed are: the inability to rotate the homescreens, the lack of "go to message" when on lock screen.

If y'all have any input in to whether these things are from a bad flash, my stupidity of locating what I need, or just not default in the rom, plz let me know.

It feels like I'm missing a "Rom Controls" tab or something....

On top of all this, On the unlock screen it looks like the status bar is shoving the unlock screen off the display (the unlock circle grid you use to slide is off the screen)
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
It is what it is..flash a different ROM then
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
just re-flashed GB i9000 bl I had originally from serendipity not sure how to do a master clear with that yet
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I've only ever done a Master Clear from within Odin1 Click while on stock JF6. The Master Clear is the one that removes every trace of previous installations, not necessarily the flashing to stock, although that helps some.

I always do both to get a completely clean slate when trying new ROM's, especially ones like these that can have their own issues, just because they are Alpha's/Beta's
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Not really sure, but you may need to use this page and flash to stock, then start all over:

I have had to use it a few times when I messed up flashing Alpha versions of ICS.

As for drivers... mine is recognized as i9000 as well, but I do not have Nexus drivers. On the ICS SGS download page, there is some modified drivers, though I did not have to use them, so not sure if they work.

[Captivate Android Development] no driver:
Not sure if ICS is totally to blame, but I'm already at my data limit for the month (next cycle starts on 12/18) because some apps hung during download and kept trying to update themselves over and over again while I was going about my day yesterday. Swype beta used 75MB of data by itself! And this morning when I went into the Market and updated the apps that were listed it seemed to get hung up on Busybox and was showing that it was trying to download it when I got to work. In fact, even though I turned off my data it still shows that it is trying to DL Busybox in the notification tray.

I usually check/update my apps on wifi at home in the morning, over an hour before leaving for work. That definitely should have been enough time to complete and/or abort those downloads but apparently they want to keep on trying... Never had this issue before now.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I only use wifi, but have run into the problem of hanging downloads or starting to download and just staying there. One fix I have found is to:

Hit menu button --->Manage Apps --->Download Manager --->Clear Cache

While you are there, clear the Cache of the market.

That would allow for apps to download again and not hang or get stuck starting the download and hanging.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
You should also set your Market apps to only update over WIFI. This will help avoid some of this also.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
My "root explorer" app had miniaturized itself again. It happened before flashing to beta 1, but corrected itself when I flashed beta 1. It's approximately 1/4 the size of my screen. So small it's unusable. Last time I had to download another file app from the market. Anyone else have this and a solution?

OK. I have been on Beta 1 for a few days with no complaints. My phone just rebooted itself as it sat on my desk. Now I was wondering could this be volume fix OTA that going out right now or just a fluke. I doubt it would be OTA but a bit curious why the reboot.

[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
The first time I try to flash Beta 1, I get the following:

-Backing up batterystats.bin...

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/updater.sh")==0

E:Error in /sdcard/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1.zip

Installation aborted

Is this normal for the first attempt to flash and then pull the battery or do I have something going wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] Mongostylor:
Flash Kernel first! Then reboot the recovery and install like it is explained in the Op.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
+1 Your welcome! Glad I could help out. :D
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
hhmm, the OP say flash Beta 1 twice then the kernel. Did I miss something? It definitely makes more sense to change the kernel first but wanted to follow the instructions as written

1. Flash Beta 1.

2. Pull battery.

3. Wipe data/factory reset.

4. Wipe cache partition.

5. Flash Beta 1 again.

6. Flash Beta 1 Kernel for Captivate.

7. Reboot and Enjoy.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I guess he forgot to add Flash the Beta 1 Kernel first. Especially if this is your first time flashing it. There is no kernel in the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
You have to update Root Explorer to 2.17.2. That should fix the problem.
